I had my 38 week appointment last week and again my fundal height was measuring small. The measurement was 30cm, down from 31cm the previous week. I was 1-2cm dilated and 50% effaced. An ultrasound was ordered, which I had today (Monday). The ultrasound showed the baby's abdomen circumference to be about 3weeks behind what it should be. All other measurements of the head, femur, blood flow and amniotic fluid were normal. This is very similar to what happened with Samuel. This time, though, since I am over 38weeks along, the doctor recommended I have the baby by the end of the week. I will call tomorrow to schedule my induction for Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Last night and today I have felt Braxton Hicks contractions for the first time. I didn't really have them/notice them with Samuel. We are excited and a little stressed about meeting our new little boy this week!
